  1. Nitika Nagar –

    Very informative and well researched. The book is somewhat dry, and I had to push myself to complete it.

  2. Akshat Jain –

    Interesting perspective on the colonial impact on Hinduism. It opened my eyes to the complexities of cultural understanding and misinterpretation.

  3. Chahat Singh Chauhan –

    The book is quite detailed, but at times I found it repetitive. Still, a worthwhile read if you’re interested in the subject.

  4. Nishant Choudhury Sarania –

    The book was good, but i was expecting more discussion on modern india rather than old colonial times.

  5. Akanksh Anand –

    A great deep dive into the subject, though sometimes hard to follow. The research seems very well done.

  6. Anusha Goil –

    Schouten’s book provides a good overview of early European views of Hinduism. However, the writing could be more engaging.

  7. Prabhsimar Kaur Sandhu –

    It’s scholarly work, clearly. But it got dense at points. Still, worth the effort if you’re serious about the topic.

  8. Manan Ajmani –

    I enjoyed learning about the European perspective on Hinduism. Some arguments are repetitive and it is sometimes hard to follow.

  9. Matsa Sai Sureshkumar –

    As an amateur historian I loved reading it. Though I wish more modern encounters with west were included.

  10. Harsh Kumar –

    A valuable resource for anyone studying the history of Hinduism. Scholarly and well-researched. It offers a great depth of information.

  11. Hareesh Kumar S –

    A decent read on a niche topic. Some parts were insightful, while others felt a bit dry. Overall, informative but not captivating.

  12. Kanishk Kumar –

    It’s informative about old colonial times. It is slightly slow. Overall I am satisfied.
